Default 710's of Hoosiers?

Its time for some new autox tires. I've just finished a set of Kumho 710's. Great tire, lots of grip and excellent wear, 115 runs.
So, I need some feedback, is it Kumho 710's or new A6 Hoosier?
Car setup for Super Stock.

Thanks for any help,
John L.

After two years of running 710s my co-driver and I changed to A6s and will never go back to the Kumhos.

Try the A6s, you'll like them.

Thank you Frank for the feedback, I appreciate it.
How 'bout tire pressure for the Hoosiers, I had the 710's at 28f/24r?

John, I thought we already had you convinced to go with the Hoosiers?

I think, on the Z06 I drove at the Pro Finale, we settled on 32f/30r with the Hoosiers. On some of our local concrete (Atwater), maybe a little more pressure?

Hey Mike,

Yeah, I know you convinced me, I just need a little more feedback.

Heck, if I was you, I'd look for "second opinions" too...I've only driven on the darn tires for 12 runs!

Yesterday was pretty cool, but Navid beat me by .05 for top PAX. I do think the RX8 is going to prove to be a good PAX car! Get yourself some new tires, so you can get back to where you should be
